Abstract
An apparatus for estimating body temperature includes a sensor including a first sensor board; an object contact surface provided below the first sensor board; a thermally conductive material provided on an upper end of the first sensor board; a second sensor board provided on an upper end of the thermally conductive material; at least one first temperature sensor provided on the first sensor board and being configured to measure a surface temperature of the object; and at least one second temperature sensor provided on the second sensor board and being configured to measure a surface temperature of the thermally conductive material; and a processor configured to: measure a heat flux based on the surface temperature of the object and the surface temperature of the thermally conductive material; and estimate core temperature based on the measured heat flux and the surface temperature of the object.
